Yeah B*tch!

     So did you watch the Golden Globes? Did you like them? Didn't we all like laughing at George Clooney with him not being there? Didn't we like Leo's face when Tina Fey called upon the guests to give him a warm welcome, like a supermodel's vagina? Lot of stuff yesterday. It all puts the Oscar race into perspective, although the nominations voting is closed, the actual voting is yet to begin.
     Dallas Buyers Club is speeding up after sweeping both acting awards for Matt and Jared. Nothing for Globes usual Meryl Streep. A lot of pleasant and unpleasant surprises. Finally in the TV section, Breaking Bad got some love. The first two Globes for that show. And the last two, as it is the final season that is awarded. I was pleasantly surprised to see Robin Wright be recognized for her magnificent job in House of Cards. I honestly thought that Kerry Washington was going for it.
    In film - the 12 Years a Slave table was filled with a little bit of a looser feeling towards the end, at least until it won Best Picture Drama. We expect some more of that winning thing at the Oscars. Cate Blanchett - what a surprise, absolutely no one saw it coming! ;) Best Actor went to Matthew McConaughey, as I said, and Comedy to Leo DiCaprio. Jennifer Lawrence gains some more momentum, but let's wait for the SAG which I have a feeling might recognize Lupita Nyong'o. And as for my personal point of view, I didn't like J-Law's performance that much. I thought it was too much, and I just couldn't wait for the end of each of her scenes. But enough silliness here, let's take a look at my final (I am pretty sure) predictions before the nominations on Thursday. On Saturday I will post the SAG predictions.
